Secretary-General of the Cabinet Secretariat "Senkaku Responding to the invasion of territorial waters without a sovereignty problem" September 4, 14:24

It was 10 years before a Chinese fishing boat collided with a Coast Guard patrol boat in Japan's territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. He said that he did not, and stressed the idea that China's authorities would respond firmly to successive invasions of territorial waters.

It has been 10 years since the incident of a Chinese fishing boat colliding with a Japan Coast Guard patrol boat in the waters of Japan off the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture in 2010.



At the press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kan told the Senkaku Islands that "the territory peculiar to Japan is an undeniable fact historically and in terms of international law. The idea is that there is no sovereignty issue to be resolved over the Senkaku Islands."



In addition, after the nationalization of the Senkaku Islands in September 2012, there was a series of invasion of territorial waters by Chinese authorities' ships in the surrounding waters. The government continues to respond calmly and resolutely, and in close cooperation with relevant ministries and agencies, we are taking precautionary action in the surrounding sea and airspaces."
